Health insurance dependent eligibility surveys

Each year, the Association conducts health insurance dependent eligibility surveys pursuant to the Health Insurance Act and instructions from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

The purpose of these surveys is to ensure the fairness and appropriateness of the health insurance system. We ask for your cooperation in these efforts.
